Don’t abandon the GOP; take it over and use the ballot access and many effective officeholders it already has
American Thinker ^ | Jan 14, 2021 | Thomas Lifson

Kenneth R. Timmerman today properly reminds us that it is leaders, not institutions, that have betrayed us. James S. Corum reminds us today of the deep bench that resides in the party below the level of top congressional leaders — and the formidable power of state governments and political organizations under GOP control.

Discarding these tools amounts to unilateral disarmament just as we need them in the critical elections ahead. Leaders can be influenced and discarded, but institutions take a long time to build.

We have state-level redistricting in immediate prospect and a midterm election in less than 22 months. It is critical to allow the American people to vote for a national party that will resist the radical Democrats via electing Republican congressional majorities, as the overreach of the left becomes clear to the sensible majority of American voters.

ENOUGH already with the "I'll never be a Republican again" sniveling. Stand to and FIGHT. We're in a better position now than we've ever been to flush the RINOs out. Don't blow it! This opportunity is highly perishable.

Don't Abandon the GOP, Take it Over.

Its kind of like that undersized trout that swallowed the hook. By the time you remoke the hook and throw it back in, theres no longer any viable signs of life left in it as it floats away.

You hate to throw it back in after the investment, but you also don’t want to get caught carrying it to the dinner plate. ;-)

The Republican party is like one of those chicks that you have to work way too hard to get her attention. And she barely throws you a bone here and there, but pretty much only has contempt for you.

And then one day, you suddenly get it and realize you are wasting your energy.

“ENOUGH already with the “I’ll never be a Republican again” sniveling. Stand to and FIGHT. We’re in a better position now than we’ve ever been to flush the RINOs out. Don’t blow it! This opportunity is highly perishable.”

Primary RINOs.

If RINO wins nomination run independent against.

RINOs must lose.

Better for RINO to lose than win.

What voter can deny that the Republicans and Democrats are two halves of the same Uniparty?

Who would donate, volunteer, or vote in elections that are clearly rigged? Does anyone really believe that these corrupt individuals are going to clean up their act?

President Trump was right when he said, "It's really you they're after. I'm just in their way."

Those who tell themselves the Republicans are going to do something about election fraud are Charlie Brown telling themselves Lucy won't pull the football away next time.

Yaeah right Chad. We’ll do that after we take over the “Michael Vick Dog Obedience School”, and the “OJ Simpson Marrage Counciling Center.”
The brand is not only damaged, but it committed suicide! Its just too damn stupid to know they are dead!

Delusional cowards who sooth their sense of butthurt dreaming of forming a new, pure party, ignore tge reality that the new party will be just as easily infiltrated as the old...

Also, if you can’t be counted on to stay tge course in the fight for the party, then you are absolutely unreliable and worthless in the fight for the country. You just want to FEEL good with a delusional FANTASY.

Every time it’s taken over its been an illusion from Reagan to Speaker Newt to Donald J. Trump.

We will have to wait the fallout to see who is left first.

Trump has the GOP, it is the Never Trumpers in Congress who don't know it, or don't want to admit the truth.

Trump got more votes than any other president EVER and they are jealous.

The GOPe is filled with hate because Trump has such a hold on the GOP.

Them scoundrels need to be routed out of office in the next election cycle.

We need to keep the faith and do everything to sideline them.

I have seen this first hand. As a former Libertarian there was a fellow who just wanted to be on the ballot by claiming he was Libertarian. He was just another ambitious collectivist. We managed to get him interested in the Green party instead but this kind of stuff really does happen.

The GOP is dead ... they just won’t know it until after almost none of them are re-elected in 2022 ... I’ll never again vote for the “lesser of two evils” like Romney and McCaine ... better for the GOP to die and a new party rise from the ashes that is free from RINO/GOPe/Globalist scum who keep selling us out ...

For this treachery......the GOP cannot be saved.

Constitution Party now. If everyone jumped, there would be no GOP, and the only worthwhile GOP would jump to the Constitution Party.

Everyone else can try out.
